[PATCH] sbp2: fix check of return value ofhpsb_allocate_and_register_addrspace

[Stefan Richter]

I added a failure check in patch "sbp2: variable status FIFO address
(fix login timeout)" --- alas for a wrong error value.  This is a bug
since Linux 2.6.16.  Leads to NULL pointer dereference if the call
failed, and bogus failure handling if call succeeded.

failed" with PL-3507 based devices''
